Hello Odoo Community,
I am facing an issue related to Inventory Valuation using Average Cost (AVCO).
Scenario:
I had existing stock of Product A.
I purchased 1 unit at a cost of 1,700.
After the purchase, the product average cost became 1,665 per unit.
Later, I returned the purchased unit to the vendor using the standard Return flow.
After the return, the Inventory Valuation Report shows a difference of 35, indicating that the Inventory Account should increase by 35.
Questions:
What is the correct accounting treatment for this difference?
Is this behavior expected in Odoo when using Average Cost?
What is the recommended business process to handle such valuation differences without using Serial Number Valuation?
If I generate a journal entry based on the Inventory Valuation Report adjustment, what should be the corresponding debit and credit accounts?
How do companies typically handle these AVCO return differences in production environments?
Additional Information:
Costing Method: Average Cost (AVCO)
Automated Inventory Valuation
No Serial/Lot Cost Tracking
Vendor Return performed through standard Odoo return process
Any guidance or best practices would be appreciated.
Thank you.
